  • Patent number: 10350104
    Abstract: An orthopedic brace and method of making the same includes a wrap member having a first and second layer. The first layer includes a first sheet and a second sheet in a laterally spaced apart relationship. Each sheet has an inner side edge and an inner panel portion which extends the length of the corresponding sheet along the corresponding inner side edge. The second layer has first and second side edges, a first overlay portion extending the length of the second layer adjacent the first side edge and overlapping the first sheet's panel portion, a second overlay portion extending the length of the second layer adjacent the second side edge and overlapping the second sheet's panel portion, and a center portion that bridges the overlay portions. The layers are stitched together along spaced apart sets of seams.

  • Publication number: 20170354528
    Abstract: A moldable wrist brace. The brace includes a pocket with a moldable insert disposed therein. The pocket and insert extend substantially the full length of the brace to maximize the length of the user's wrist supported thereby. A plurality of straps and buckles are provided for retaining the brace on the user's wrist and providing a desired compression thereon. The straps include locking tabs that once inserted through the buckles resist withdrawal of the straps therefrom. One-handed donning of the brace is thus simplified by retention of the straps in engagement with the buckles.
